BLUES DUO NAMED IN SPAIN FRIENDLY SQUAD

Fernando Torres and Cesar Azpilicueta have been included in a 19-man Spain squad to face Bolivia in a friendly next Friday.

The game represents the last opportunity for players to stake a claim before Vincente Del Bosque trims his provisional 30-man World Cup squad down to 23 on 2 June.

The Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid players named in the provisional group have been omitted for Friday’s game after taking part in the Champions League final, while Alvaro Negredo, Jesus Navas and Fernando Llorente have also been left out.

Former Chelsea attacker Juan Mata joins Torres and Azpilicueta in the squad.
